Crashing While editing Symbols in Floating Panes!

Question

I'm noticing more VW crashing/stopped working while in floating panes, especially when trying to edit a symbol. Also in floating pane view port, editing grouped objects do not show unless you zoom in & out . But if I ungroup the object to edit it, is works fine. Does the floating pane require two graphics cards ?

Also what is a maximum file size that VW can handle with out crashing ? The office I'm in now is having crashing problems with two or three large files open at same time.

In VW 2017 I did have to go back to Good Performance, but so far I have been on Best Performance in VW2018 on the same hardware with the exception of the system drive now being an SSD drive after the HDD failed and so far without hiccups, which surprised me a little bit given the issues in VW2017.

Or VW did manage to improve a few things that work out well for me in Best Performance mode but perhaps less so for others.

We do improve the stabilities of Best Performance overtime, even through service packs.

This is one of our first priorities in terms of performance improvements.

So far after changing it to Best Performance & Compatibility no problems.

Only other problem but have not tried since this change is adding a symbol in a viewport & then flipping it vertically, everything was fine until I reopened the file later I could not see the flipped symbol, after clicking annotation of the viewport I could tell it moved far left way off the sheet size and line and text objects separated. So I converted it to a group to look like the symbol but flipped. I know you should be able to do this in a viewport, not just design layers.
